Wayo's POV

"If she was not pretty, would you help her out?" P'Beam kept shouting. This quarrel was getting louder after each sentence. I swore this was just uncomfortable at first and now it was kinda scary. But I could hear the two guys behind us laughing like crazy. "Why are you so angry with me helping them?" P'Forth said. "I do not know. Maybe I am not." P'Beam said. "Wait a minute. Are you jealous right now?" P'Forth said. "Shut up. I'm not jealous." P'Beam yelled but quickly stared out the window again while P'Forth just nodded and let out a small devil chuckle. I would swear I thought I was going to have a heart attack over these two brawls, while the two behind laughed out loud, and I did not even know why. After 2 hours of stop at the gas station, P'Forth started speeding up our minivan so we would not miss the speed boat to the island.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing text notification from P'Pha's phone. I glanced at the screen as he took out the phone from his pocket and there was a text from an unknown number. Oh dear lord! Now came my own problem session. He immediately looked at me right after he read the message. "Did you give her my phone number?" yelled P'Pha. I wished I was a Flash so that i could disappear at will especially at this moment. I shrugged and snapped, "But she asked for your number. What was I supposed to do?"

"What are you talking about? I wanted her to talk to you so that she would see how cute my boyfriend is and then stops asking about my phone number. But did you give her my number. Are you serious?" P'Pha exclaimed. He was angry. Super mad indeed. "And what did you want me to do? Is my boyfriend playing some kind of game on me with that beautiful lady?" I screamed back on his face. "Besides, the heat did not help me at all, so I was so angry easily." I continued complaining but deep down I knew it was futile to outsmart him. And it was best to reconcile our misunderstanding though i was still a bad mood.  P'Pha nodded and was not saying anything. He put the phone back in his pocket and took out some snacks and sweets. "... You had some fun?" He said. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Pretending to be my Nong." He said. "What are you talking about? I did not do that at all." I answered. "Let me think." He put his big palm on my head and messing my hair. He let out his devil smile and finally said, "They are going to Koh Lan, right? If you see them there, you have to kiss me deeply on my lip. That is your punishment."

I already kissed him like a million times but I never did it in a public. Honestly, public display of affection was never my thing. So I quickly defended myself, "Hey! Why would I have to do that?" He said to me with his big and naughty smile. "You're my boyfriend and I let her talk to you. You should have rejected her in the first place." What the hell? I did not know what to say anymore. I just used my hands to scratch my head. Damn it. I hated to admit that P'Pha was right. A real boyfriend had to protect his lover at all cost, even if it meant protecting him from himself. P'Pha once told me that it was his job to protect me. It was better for me to be protected when I thought I did not need it than to not to be protected when i needed it. Now I felt that I was not proud of giving her his number. P'Pha had been a protective, not possessive, boyfriend and he never hid it even in the public. I should have done at least one tenth of what he had done to me. How to defend the indefensible me? As I was sinking in my thought, P'Pha slowly turned his head and moved his face toward the back of my head. Then he let out a small blow on my earlobe before whispering, "Mmmm...you smell so good. Be careful what you say next because I am horny right now." The way he looked at me and this feeling of tingling and coolness on my earlobe sent shivers down my spine and I knew I was blushing so bad too.

"I've heard that." P'Kit said. Wait a minute. Did he hear what P'Pha whispered to me? Oh man. I wished I had a undo button. "Hey P'Pha, I do not know what your plan is for this trip, but do not do anything stupid to Nong Yo." I looked at him in the backseat, P'Kit nodded and grabbed a bag of BBQ nachos from P'Pha's hand while Ming sat comfortably next to him smiling like an idiot. "Hey Kit, I do not want anyone expecting anything from me because I already gave myself to Yo, not like you lolz." P'Pha said with a self-satisfied smirk on his face while happily eating his snacks as if he just won a big prize. "Oh, but he already did that too." Ming said, but I guessed P'Pha did not hear him. Instantly, P'Kit's face turned super red face. Now my friend  was laughing even harder.

It took sometime before P'Pha spoke again. "Ming, what did you just say?" He asked. I noticed that P'Kit was a little startled by P'Pha's follow up question, so he quickly covered Ming's face with his right palm while he immediately used his left hand to put a piece of nachos he was about to eat into Ming's mouth. "Nothing. He did not say anything at all." P'Kit said.
I now heaved a sigh of relief when i heard that. Well, the heat was kind taken off me now. It was hilarious as if we did not know anything about him and Ming. After Ming finished munching his nachos, P'Kit was whispering in his ear, but I still could hear their cute chitchatting. "Do not you want to talk about it?" Ming asked. "Shut up." P'Kit hit Ming's shoulder. "Why are you so shy?" Ming added. "Enough. Stop being annoying." P'Kit responded. "Okay, your wish is my command na krub." Ming whispered in a sweet but very seductive tone. "Bastard." said P'Kit.

From the corner of my eye,I saw P'Kit stuffing nacho in Ming's mouth each time Ming teased him. And P'Kit was blushing as red as a tomato. Ming was still joking and playing with eyebrows as usual. I could still hear them talking clearly, but I just ignored them. I sat straight and leaned back a little. Then, I noticed that the two guys in front of me were still arguing like an old married couples. Their argument was going back and forth like this. P'Beam said if you were my boyfriend, I'd poison your coffee. And P'Forth replied if you were my lover, I'd drink it.  And it went on and on and before I noticed anything it became my lullaby working like a charm making me fall asleep on P'Pha's shoulder.

Finally, we now arrived at Pattaya bay. A big thank to our trusted driver. After we got all our backpack and belongings off the minivan, we rushed to Bali Hai pier where we would catch a speed boat to the island. There were many travelers, backpackers, and mostly western tourists here. I guessed they were also on a vacation because of a bright smile on each and everyone's face. Suddenly, an irritating but awfully familiar voice echoed in the air from somewhere "Nong."

When I turned around and saw the owner of that voice, I felt that I could breathed as if someone sucked all the oxygen in my world right now. To anyone's surprise, those bitches we met at the gas station were here, and they were waving at me with a big smiley face. In my head, it was like this there was nothing I could do. I had to go nuclear. Fuck the consequences  but in action, I gave my best to stay as cool as possible and as long as I could not to ruin my trip.
They walked towards us and one red haired slutty went right next to my boyfriend. I really did not want to think about it, but when I saw her standing next to P'Pha, my mind generated strange thoughts and clung to me. Damn it. They looked rather great together. "I bet we could ride the same boat together." She said sweetly as if she was talking to her boyfriend. I could clearly hear what they were saying because I was just nearby but kind of invisible to them. So I did not want to say anything at all though it was killing me inside. "Where are you going to stay tonight?" She asked. P'Pha looked at me and ignored her question, but I ended up answering her out of politeness. "Suntosa resort krub." said I. "Oh really? Great. We are going to stay at that resort too." She exclaimed cheerfully, then smiled at me and said, "What a coincidence!" What the heck? Again? Coincidence, my ass. Please kill me now. That was the reason I did not like a thing called fate which was like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who brought me things I never asked for and did not always like.

I saw her frequently look at P'Pha and smile but P'Pha just kept ignoring her. "I am sorry." P'Pha said to a girl that she was confused by what was happening. He ignored her and walked towards me. "That looks heavy." He did not wait for me to answer, but he grabbed my backpack. "Do not you want to help those girls?" I asked him acting like I was trying to take my bag back. He starred seriously at me and said, "You're my boyfriend so you'll always be my top priority." Suddenly, my face turned very red as I was trying to hide my face and said, "What a hot weather!" I did not feel anything from the weather as my heart was beating very loud and I wondered if he could hear its beating. "I have a surprise for you." He said excitingly. "Surprise?" I asked him. "Yes, let's get on the boat first and I'll show you later!" He said and smiled at me. My thoughts on what he said were still around until I boarded the boat to 'Koh Lan'.  He ignored the girls who flirted with him and sat down beside me. He looked at me with a smile on his lips and then pulled something out of his bag. "Et voila!!!" It was a brand new digital SLR camera with new shining lenses. "Eureka?" I exclaimed a little. "Let's call her Kaka. Okay?" P'Pha replied. "We'll use 'kaka' to record our memories together." He continued with a smile. Really? Was this the idea coming from the most handsome and popular Medical sophomore in our school? Kaka was indeed a funny name so I turned away to hide my laugher.

I heard another click sound from the camera and let out my death stare to the handsome photographer. He took another picture without letting me know beforehand. "Why do you take my picture when I was not ready?" I complained. He looked into the viewfinder and laughed. "Your candid photo looks so nice and natural," he uttered sweetly. "And this is my punishment too." He added. "I never understood you. Well if it turns out ok."  I whined. I did not know if I look good in the camera but I did not really care, as long as the cameraman was happy to take them, then I was very happy too. He laughed again after another shot. He took another picture. "Your smile," he whispered. "What is with my smile?" I said. "Your smile is really beautiful both on and behind the camera." He whispered with a big smile on his face. A happy man was the most handsome. I just realized that there were a lot of flashy scenes
he just took without my knowledge. It was just so cute to see the way my boyfriend took every single one of my pictures with happiness. So I took the camera from his hands, and started taking our pictures together. The best preparation for tomorrow was doing our best today. If he already could make me smile, he could make me do anything. What a lifetime of love and beautiful memories!
